We study the stability of solutions to a class of variational inequalities posed on obstacle-type convex sets, under Mosco-convergence. More precisely, for a fixed obstacle $\psi\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, we consider…

We establish the existence, uniqueness, and $W^{1,2,p}$-regularity of solutions to fully-nonlinear, parabolic obstacle problems when the obstacle is the pointwise supremum of functions in $W^{1,2,p}$ and the nonlinear operator is required…

We study the higher differentiability for nonlinear elliptic equation in divergence form $\mathcal{A}(x,Du)=b(x)$. The result covers the cases in which $\mathcal{A}(x, \xi)$ satisfies $p,q$ growth, with $1<p<2$ in $\xi$ and a Sobolev…

We prove global $W^{1,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)$-regularity for minimisers of convex functionals of the form $\mathscr{F}(u)=\int_\Omega F(x,Du)\mathrm{d} x$. $W^{1,q}(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^m)$ regularity is also proven for minimisers of the…
